Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“"Sections 13A-8-4 (e) and 13A-8-4 (a) proscribe different conduct. Section 13A-8-4 (e), as used in this case, proscribes that conduct which is commonly known as shoplifting. It requires no recitation of authority for this court to recognize the seriousness of this widespread and costly problem. The legislature by enacting § 13A-8-4 (e) obviously intended to provide stiff penalties for those persons caught engaging in that conduct in our state. "On the other hand, § 13A-8-4 (a) proscribes that conduct which includes, but is not necessarily limited to, theft of property from a person's home or office."”
